Continue two more times to have 4 sheets of phyllo. Cut the dough into 5 strips. Scoop a tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture onto one end of a strips. Bring a corner up and over the cheese to line up the bottom edge with the right edge of the phyllo forming a triangle. Continue to do this, folding the phyllo like flag, until you have a little triangle goat cheese package. Continue with the remaining strips and repeat the process with remaining sheets of phyllo. Place the triangles on the prepared pan and brush the tops with more oil. Sprinkle the tops with a pinch of salt. Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 12 minutes.

CRISP GOAT-CHEESE SALAD
Steps:
- Heat the broiler. Brush a baking sheet with oil; set aside. Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Simmer just until fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Rinse the potatoes under cold water until cool enough to handle, and cut into 1-inch chunks.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl. Slice the goat cheese into 8 rounds (see note below), and pat each into a disk about 1/2 inch thick. Dip the disks in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs, coating evenly. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Slowly add 1/4 cup of the oil, whisking to emulsify. Set aside.

- Freezing the goat-cheese log for several minutes makes it easier to slice.
Tips:
- Select fresh, high-quality ingredients: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and tender goat cheese. Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, will add a burst of flavor to the salad.
- Slice the vegetables evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If the vegetables are not sliced evenly, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the goat cheese, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the cheese from cooking evenly and becoming rubbery. Instead, cook the cheese in batches if necessary.
- Use a light touch when tossing the salad: Over-tossing the salad can bruise the vegetables and make them limp. Instead, use a light touch and toss the salad gently.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The goat cheese will start to soften and the vegetables will lose their crispness if the salad is stored for too long.
Conclusion:
This crisp goat cheese salad is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
